Hi all, really sorry if this has been answered already 😬

What campsite would you suggest my friends and I set up in, all 35ish, enjoy sitting around having our tins and smokes and really not interested in having any undesirable visitors. Also we don't want to have to walk miles to the arena or when dragging out crap in.

Thanks in advance boardies.

Charlie Chaplin. I'm staying in Pink Moon this year, but I was in Chaplin last year. It's exactly as you describe. Majority of people are late 20's/30's. Everyone is there to have a good time, but no one is acting the bollox. It's kept nice and clean as well, and there seems to be more visible security to deter any ****ers liable to ransack/burn tents.

I wouldn't hesitate to stay there this year if I wasn't in Pink Moon.

Ah jaysis, proper downpour outside right now is giving me the heebeejeebies. My poncho is still covered in mud from Glastonbury from the last time I saw LCD Soundsystem. I really didn't want to wear it again.

Has anyone seen a copy of the site drawings this year? There was one floating around last year.

It was a scale drawing with actual boundaries etc

The usual festival plug for those into their brass music. Stomptown brass on Friday 12.25am on salty dog and Saturday at 6.45pm on trailer park.

We're also in the horn section for the David Bowie tribute gig on salty dog at 2.30am Friday night. That Should be good craic.

The hardest part will be keeping my **** together til 2.30am!

Reded

All set up- ground in great shape actually tried to put a wind breaker in ground but was hard as nails! So everyone enjoy the weekend !! Feck the rain!!!

Amirani

Excitement well and truly kicked in. Have to work tomorrow which is unfortunate, but gonna feck off at half 1 and be on the bus down at 2.

Can't wait!

StephenOT

Lads whats the story with the Hot press chatroom clashfinder have up. Cant find anything about it on the electric picnic website?

Villain

I'm in pink moon site, coming from Vicarstown heading for Green car park about 9:30am that plan makes sense right?

Reded

Guys I know this is a no ticket rule here but owing to bereavement 2 friends due to join me tomorrow can't come €240 each original tickets available in Galway tomorrow morning

rameire

for people wondering last minute which way to go if coming from Dublin with own transport.

I would suggest going M7, taking the junction 11 onto the M9, coming off at juntion 3 on the M9 onto the New N78 into Athy.
while in Athy, if you are short on beer or food, there is a supervalu, Aldi, Lidl and Local Perry Supermarket,
there is also a Shaws Almost nationwide if you need clothes, and if you are short a tent, chair, other camping equipment go into Griffin Hawe, its a Topline provider, stop off for a feed in a Cafe, and its only 20 minutes from Athy to Stradbally.

that's the route and time I've been taking for the past few years, works a treat.

Sorry for asking the same question, but I didn't really get a full answer before.

Which stages/tents fall outside of the main arena i.e. which stage/tent can o bring my own beer to during the day?

I know that I can do so at Trenchtown.. any more?
